Should be close.

It's definitely going to be more than what the NISMO CBE is to the standard Z.

I'd say it's the perfect volume level for a DD. It is only loud when you want it to be. Regular driving and cruising is going to be very tame, but when you get on it you'll know.

I want a ballsier idle though.

It sounds deeper than stock for sure. Have u heard the other ones like roush tho, Dan? It sounds hollow and tinny and ruins the v8 sound imo. But the borlas s type are nice for sure and definitely louder than gt500 even. But for 700 bucks tho???

U can always add x pipe later for more volume or delete resonators

never heard roush in person, but the rasp ruins if for me.

FRPP sounds great, I think I want an even ballsier idle than they have...not sure if that is possible though.

Roush AB sounds nice with an X pipe:

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 07:48 PM

They are going to be loud.

I would be inclined to give them a try, though. They sound awesome. My guess is they are a good bit louder than mine, but you could probably keep them civil if you needed to.

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 07:54 PM

their idle sounds awesome, but I feel like they rasp a ton. Might just be the crappy cameras people are using

m4a1mustang · 09-26-2011, 07:54 PM

I don't think they rasp.

Red__Zed · 09-26-2011, 07:59 PM

I wish there was a way to know how loud they'd be...videos don't really convey that.

If I'm gonna stay in alabama, I know they'll be fine. Wouldn't want to run them in VA tho

FromG2Z · 09-26-2011, 07:59 PM

Yeah those Roush's might be a little too loud for my taste. I liked them at first that I listened to them, but I feel they are a tad bit too loud and hollow.

Also, Steve, Red, I've been doing some more reading, esp on the mustang forums, and as you know, things that happen to a handful of people get blown up out of proportion and scare the other 99% of the other people.

So in that vain, what are the "handful" of issues that have happened to 5.0 cars in general? I read stuff about this "tick" noise that happens around 7k? Thoughts on that? Any of you experience this?
